Head of Engineering (Director)

Supportiv is a peer-to-peer mental and emotional well-being platform that actively helps users with their everyday struggles, 24/7/365, at 1/10 the cost of therapy for true accessibility. Based on a multi-patented process, users are matched in under 60 seconds, according to their natural language expressed needs, to a dynamically formed peer group chat which is live moderated by a trained professional. As the chat unfolds, we understand more about what the user needs and precision-match hyper-relevant healthcare resources and services, in real-time.

Supportiv enables users to cope with, problem-solve, and heal from mental health struggles in an ultra user-friendly, practical, tactical way, outside the confines of the broken US mental health system, by harnessing the power of AI and natural language understanding (NLU).

Supportiv serves top employers and health plans, including two Fortune 5 companies. 82% of users rate the experience 4 or 5/5 stars, and we offer proprietary outcomes measurements unmatched in the industry.

1. What Google did to Yahoo, Supportiv is doing to emotional/mental well-being.  Instead of annoying signup steps, outdated forms, static menus, boring and non-relevant questionnaires and surveys, there is just one text box with a single question: “What’s Your Struggle?”™
2. Multi-patented, cutting edge technology that moves with the speed of your thoughts. A platform that creates a supportive universe around you, precisely matched based on your conversation. With over 9 AI/ML algorithms deployed in production, working in real-time, Supportiv promises support in less than a minute, 24/7/365. We are the pioneers of precision-matched micro-community peer support groups with a human moderator at the center.
3. Not everyone needs a therapist and anyway, there aren’t enough therapists for everyone.Supportiv bridges the gap, with the ability to scale care beyond measure, addressing the shortage and the mental health crisis while delivering clinical grade outcomes at 1/10th the cost via peer-to-peer support.
4. We are growing: Our team is growing due to our demonstrated success with two Fortune 5 companies (among other customers) and over 1.1 million unique users to date.
